Last Game!

Today was the last soccer game of the season! Ben got to start, so that was pretty exciting. Conner got tons of playing time later in the first half. He was able to get several opportunities to kick the ball. They won the game so everyone was very excited. It was a great way to end the season!

 

Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day kinda snuck up on us this year! We have been so busy (and sick) but we celebrated today! We went flower shopping yesterday and got some things planted in the gardens. Today we enjoyed a little relaxation between homework, chores, and some oven shopping since ours decided to quit today! Just another crazy (normal) day...  Happy Mother's Day!!!

 

More Soccer!

LinnMar almost got it, but ultimately lost 1 to 2. They tried hard and played a decent game, but Iowa City High is a great team. The whole team was pretty disappointed, but Ben and Conner had a good game and even had a bit of fun!

 

Sick...

It has been a hard couple of weeks in our house. At least one of us has been sick every single day. Ben is finally good, Nick and I are hopefully on the mend, and Conner came home from school with a fever yesterday. So, Conner and I will be home again today... Walking pneumonia seems to be the consensus and it is taking forever to get over it! 

 

Another Win!

Another soccer game tonight! The boys played over at Kennedy and were able to get another win! The guys both had more playing time and did really well!

 

First Loss...

The boys had another game today! I was only able to watch the first half and they didn't get to to play until the second half, so I missed their playing time. Unfortunately, the team lost their first game today, but they will bounce back!

 

Job Shadow...

Ben was able to participate in a job shadow at the Marion Police Department today! He had a lot of fun! The school resource officer that Ben knows from school is the one who was running things so Ben got a little extra attention. He got to see how they take fingerprints, how things work when there is a bomb call, how the canine units work, and lots of other cool stuff!
